Welcome to the Davenport Homepage. I
hope that you enjoy your visit. Our farm is located in the Pennyrile
Region of Western Kentucky.
It is a grain farm consisting of 725 acres of family owned and leased land.
We raise corn, soybeans, wheat, and burley tobacco. Our county
is where no-till farming pretty well originated and most of our crops are
planted by this method. This saves labor, time, and most of all,
the soil. I think it is probablyone of the greatest advances in agriculture
this century.
My wife of 36 years Joyce and I are both native
Kentuckians. We are parents to 3 children and now have five grandchildren,
the latest being Rachel, who was born this year. I grew up
on and still operate a small farm that my
mother still owns and lives on. As a young man I served a 4
year hitch in the Air Force. I have been an innkeeper for Holiday
Inns, Managed a furniture store for 13 years but have always had one foot
on the farm. It is where I belong.
